OK, so the functionality is the same, but the name of the library is different only? It is a while since I checked this for myself... > > 2.

Are you in a position to test on Windows as well? It would be good to know that everything works correctly on Ubuntu 10.04 as well. But I can test that one for you. I will aim to test this probably Wednesday or later.
